SaaS and IT translation: localise your product for European expansion

For a B2B SaaS publisher, localisation is a critical driver for growth. A product available purely in English misses out on 72% of its addressable market (CSA Research). But localising a SaaS product isn't merely about translation: it involves adapting the UI, documentation, marketing, and the legal framework for target markets while ensuring absolute terminological consistency across all touchpoints.

Since 2000, Asiatis has partnered with SaaS vendors and IT enterprises to power their international expansion. Our commitment: delivering production-ready product copy. We ensure terminology is approved by your product managers, variables and placeholders are correctly handled, and files are integrated directly into your CI/CD pipelines.

What we localise for SaaS companies

UI/UX & Microcopy

Interface strings, buttons, menus, error messages, tooltips, and placeholders in .json, .xliff, .po, and .strings formats.

Help Centre & Knowledge Base

Help articles, tutorials, getting started guides, and FAQs. Markdown, HTML, Zendesk, or Intercom integration.

API Docs & Developer Hub

Endpoints, parameters, code examples, changelogs, SDK docs. Swagger/OpenAPI and Markdown formats.

SaaS Marketing & Growth

Landing pages, onboarding emails, in-app messages, release notes, case studies, and whitepapers.

Our approach: terminological consistency at scale

The primary challenge in SaaS localisation is consistency. If "Settings" is translated as "Paramètres" in your web app, it must also be "Paramètres" in your help centre, email sequence, and changelog. Here is our methodology:

  1. Approved product glossary: Prior to kick-off, we build a glossary which your product managers validate. This forms the single source of truth for all subsequent copy.
  2. Translation Memory (TM): We store each translated segment. This ensures identical updates across v1, v2, v3, and alignment across UI, documentation, and marketing assets.
  3. Locale-specific style guides: Tone (formal/informal), UX conventions (date formats, currencies), and permissible technical acronyms, tailored for individual local markets.
  4. CI/CD integration: Syncing workflows with Crowdin, Phrase, Lokalise, or Transifex. Automated string extraction → continuous localisation → PR creation in your GitHub/GitLab repo.

Sectoral evidence

"We tasked Asiatis with the localisation of our B2B SaaS platform (500+ employees) from 2019 onwards: complete UI/UX and knowledge base spanning 14 languages including Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Volume: ~80,000 words annually across UI strings, help centre articles, and monthly release notes. Memsource (Phrase) string-sync via webhook. Result: time-to-market for multi-language releases slashed from 3 weeks to 5 days."

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of SaaS/IT content do you translate?

We cover the entire SaaS ecosystem: (1) UI/UX strings (buttons, menus, errors, tooltips) via .json, .xliff, .po, .strings, .xml. (2) Knowledge Base / Help Centre articles, FAQs, getting started guides. (3) API Documentation: endpoints, parameters, changelogs, SDK docs. (4) Product Marketing: landing pages, onboarding emails, in-app microcopy, release notes. (5) Legal: ToS, Privacy Policies, Data Processing Agreements (DPA), SLAs. Our translators natively operate in modern SaaS environments like Figma and Slack, enabling them to naturally grasp modern UX conventions.

How do you manage complex IT terminology?

Via three pillars: (1) Sectoral glossaries: We maintain IT/SaaS glossaries per vertical (cloud, cybersecurity, DevOps, fintech). For instance, 'webhook' usually remains untranslated while 'dashboard' might be localised. (2) Translation Memory (TM): Once your product manager approves a term in v1, the TM locks it for all subsequent sprints to assure total coherence. (3) Client validation: The product glossary is submitted to your internal technical owners prior to translation kickoff.
